Andrei had already posted that link a few months back, which started a
similar discussion:

Personally, I like the File Upload idea. E.g.:
[[
<input id="cameraInput" type="file" accept="image/*"/>
<script>
var files = document.getElementById('cameraInput');
// returns an instance of Filelist
// let's write the uploaded picture in to a canvas
var image = files.item[0].getAs("File.IMAGE");
var canvas = document.getElementById("someCanvas");
canvas.getContext('2D').drawImage(0,0,image.width,image.height);
<script>
]]
or something similar which matches the File Upload specification.
Seems to fulfill most use cases. Except the streaming video, I'm afraid ;)
